Ingredients
- 300 g 60-70% chocolate, chopped
- ¼ cup pumpkin seeds, preferably roasted
- ¼ cup dried cherries or cranberries
- ½ tsp flaked sea salt, such as Maldon or Fleur de Sel
Instructions
- 1
Line 17 muffin cups with liners.
- 2
Make a double boiler: Fill a medium-size pot halfway with water, place over medium heat. Place chopped chocolate in a medium-size heat-proof bowl, one that is slightly LARGER than the circumference of the pot (I use a Pyrex bowl over the pot with water). The chocolate will begin to melt; as it melts, stir it a little so that all the pieces get equal treatment. Make sure that the water is on a slow boil—you don’t want to get ANY steam or water in the chocolate because it will cause the chocolate to separate.

When the chocolate is melted and still warm, put 1 tablespoon of chocolate into each of the 17 cups; you will have exactly enough.
- 4
Distribute the pumpkin seeds evenly over each cup. Distribute the dried cherries or cranberries over each cup, about 3 cherries or cranberries per cup.
- 5
Put muffin tins in the refrigerator to harden. When the chocolate is mostly firm, sprinkle with the flaked salt.
Notes
Store in the refrigerator.
Tips & Storage
- How to Store
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week depending on the ingredients.
- Can I Freeze This?
- Many baked desserts freeze well for up to 2 months. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and then foil to prevent freezer burn.
- Baking Tip
- Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature before starting unless the recipe specifies otherwise. This ensures better mixing and a more even bake.

Italian Lemon Ricotta Cheesecake with Blackberry Coulis
An Italian cheesecake is typically made with ricotta cheese. It is not overly sweet and slightly drier than a traditional cheesecake. This cake is best made the day before you want to serve it. The Blackberry Coulis really adds a nice touch. You can use frozen raspberries if you can find blackberries.

Wildberry Pie Oat Bars
I really do love anything berry but especially when they come guilt free. These decadent bars are refined sugar-free, gluten-free, vegan and incredibly delicious. They are not too sweet, just the way I like them and a great power snack. Feel free to make just blueberry or raspberry bars by subbing frozen or fresh raspberries or blueberries.
